Atticus Finch

Who was the real Atticus Finch? A prize-winning historian reveals the man behind the legend The publication of Go Set a Watchman in 2015 forever changed how we think about Atticus Finch. Once seen as a paragon of decency, he was reduced to a small-town racist. How are we to understand this transformation? In Atticus Finch, historian Joseph Crespino draws on exclusive sources to reveal how Harper Lee''s father provided the central inspiration for each of her books. A lawyer and newspaperman, A. C. Lee was a principled opponent of mob rule, yet he was also a racial paternalist. Harper Lee created the Atticus of Watchman out of the ambivalence she felt toward white southerners like him. But when a militant segregationist movement arose that mocked his values, she revised the character in To Kill a Mockingbird to defend her father and to remind the South of its best traditions. A story of family and literature amid the upheavals of the twentieth century, Atticus Finch is essential to understanding Harper Lee, her novels, and her times.

Prastaré město se propadá do anarchie, šeďácké houby a plísně bují na domech i v lidech, povstalecké síly jsou demoralizovány a rozprášeny, a parciálové – lidští zrádci, přetvoření šeďáky v cosi jiného – kráčejí ulicemi a trýzní obyvatele. Finch má na příkaz šeďáckého nadřízeného vyřešit nepochopitelnou dvojnásobnou vraždu. V průběhu vyšetřování narazí na krajně podivné události, je nucen připomenout si svou vlastní, pečlivě utajovanou minulost, a kromě toho se dostane na stopu klíčovému tajemství historie Ambry. Jak se zdá, osud celého města bude nakonec záviset na jeho rozhodnutí…

Omluvy, které zařveš, se nepočítají - David Finch

Téměř v každém manželství se žena občas zeptá: „Co to do p*#!%?+ s tím mým chlapem je?!“ Manželka Davida Finche nešla nikdy pro tuhle otázku daleko. Pět let poté, co se David oženil s Kristen, láskou svého života, zjistili, že má Aspergerův syndrom. Diagnóza objasnila, proč se David někdy chová divně, ale rozhodně Kristin život s ním neusnadnila.Rozhodnut ke změně, snažil se David s neutuchajícím zápalem pochopit Aspergerův syndrom a stát se lepším manželem. Jeho metoda pro vylepšení vztahu obnáší podrobné poznámky, sebehodnocení, a především deník dobrých způsobů, který je kolekcí stovek prohlášení jako „Nepřelaďuj rádio, když slyšíš, že si s ním zpívá“ a „Omluvy, které zařveš, se nepočítají“. David se tak za dva roky změnil z náročného manžela na takového, který obstojí i nejvyšším nárokům. Stal se manželem, jakým chtěl vždycky být. David Finch vyrostl na farmě v severním Illinois a studoval na University of Miami hudební technologie. V roce 2008 mu byl diagnostikován Aspergerův syndrom.

Edging the City - Peter Finch

Peter Finch is perhaps the foremost chronicler of Cardiff, past and present. His response to the 2020 lockdown covid restrictions confining people to their local authority area was to begin walking the boundary of his, in a repeat of his long walk along the south Wales coast recorded in Edging the Estuary. The Cardiff border rarely appears on maps. The city is no longer has walls (like York or Chester), or a modern transport périphérique like London’s M25. Instead it’s metaphorical dotted line travels across fields, along motorways, up rivers, through forests, over rail tracks and along miles of intertidal mudflats following the edge of the Severn. The border is made up of waymarked trails, city streets, highway liminal zones, woodlands. Mud-soaked tracks up hillsides, bridges, diversions, disentanglements and discoveries all play a part in this informative text created for walkers and armchair travellers alike. Edging the City explores (sometimes literally) why and where borders exist, their purposes, their love of water courses. It discusses other cities with walkable borders including York, Chester, London, Paris, Bruges and Seoul. It considers legal and geopolitical reasons for borders (the battles over placement of ‘Welcome’ signs, for instance), how they change and what ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Farewell Tour - Stefan Mohamed

In Farewell Tour, Stefan Mohamed takes us on a hellish road trip through the psyche of a mean and defeated nation. It is hard to think of a poet who goes further in creating a new poetic register from materials not usually found in poetry. The language of Farewell Tour comes from popular media and social media; it sneers, preens and insinuates. None of this is accidental. Mohamed is a skilful poet with a brilliant knack for refashioning the rhetoric of disposable media into lines which convey an extraordinary energy; but the true purpose of these poems is moral. We are shown the ugliness of our culture. In some places the ugliness is replicated within the poems, but what we also get is some of the sharpest satire and most inventive writing you will find in any book published this year. This is not a melancholic book of disappointed patriotism, lamenting what has happened to our country; it is an outpouring of disgust at the people we have become. Brilliant and horrible in equal measure.” - Tom Sastry, author of You Have No Normal Country To Return To and A Man’s House Catches Fire (Nine Arches Press)“It’s rare to feel ...

Montaigne - Stefan Zweig

Velikán svetovej literatúry Stefan Zweig (1881 – 1942), spisovateľ, esejista, básnik a prekladateľ, stále oslovuje svojím dielom nových a nových čitateľov. V slovenskom preklade vyšli napríklad jeho romány Opojenie z premeny, Netrpezlivosť srdca, eseje Hviezdne hodiny ľudstva, Liečba duchom, autobiografický román Svet včerajška, biografické romány Balzac, Mária Antoinetta či Mária Stuartová. Sujetom poslednej Zweigovej knihy je renesančný mysliteľ, humanista a skeptik, otec literárnej esejistiky, Michel de Montaigne. Hoci biografia Montaigne nebola dokončená, zostali v nej autorove poznámky, ktoré zvykol vždy pred vydaním knihy odstrániť, nie je to jej nedostatkom, naopak. Podáva svedectvo nielen o Montaigneovi a jeho dobe, ale aj o Zweigovi. Biografia Montaigne vznikla šťastnou náhodou. Stefan Zweig utiekol s nacistami okupovanej Európy do Brazílie, kde sa usadil v meste Petrópolis. Práve tu objavil Montaigneove dvojzväzkové Eseje, ktoré vnímal ako útechu vo svojom postavení vyhnanca. Montaigneov životopis písal s veľkým zaujatím, videl paralelu medzi nacistickou brutalitou a náboženskými vojnami v časoch Montaigneových. Za štyristo rokov sa ľudstvo nezmenilo. Stefan Zweig vzdáva úctu Michelovi de Montaigne, človeku a humanistovi, ktorý nikdy nezradil svoje vnútorné presvedčenie a aj v najťažších časoch zostal homme libre, slobodným človekom. Slovenský preklad je doplnený o esej Mareka Kurtu Zweig vs Montaigne.

Family Criminology - Amanda Holt

This full-colour textbook offers a fresh conceptual approach to understanding the intersections of crime, criminal justice and family life. In doing so, it proposes a brand new sub-discipline of Criminology that places the family at the heart of its analysis, offering a groundbreaking approach to the study of crime and deviance. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this introductory text explores topics from across the spectrum of criminological scholarship, including youth justice, prisons, organized crime, family violence and homicide, and victimology. By drawing together these distinct topics and identifying and discussing their familial connections, this book argues for the importance of family life in the theory and practice of crime and justice. Key questions discussed throughout the text include: How does the criminal justice system engage with families across different contexts? In what ways do crime and criminal justice processes impact on family life? In what ways can families transform the criminal justice system for the betterment of all? This book challenges commonly-held and simplistic assumptions about what the family is in relation to crime and justice and, by doing so, engages in deeper debates about human rights, social justice and the role of the state in relation to families and crime. ...

Criminology - Tim Newburn

Crime is big news. From murder to theft to drug gangs, crime and criminal justice affect the lives of millions of people worldwide. Hardly surprisingly, crime has been pushed high up the public policy agenda across the world. But how can we measure crime, or evaluate the effectiveness of preventative measures? Does the threat of prison reduce someone''s likelihood of reoffending, or would rehabilitation be more constructive?In this Very Short Introduction Tim Newburn considers how we can study trends in crime, and use them to inform preventative policy and criminal justice. Analysing the history of the subject, he reflects on our understanding of crime and responses to crime in earlier historical periods. Considering trends in crime in the developed world, Newburn discusses its causes, exploring the relationship between drugs and crime, analysing what we know about why people stop offending, and looking at both formal and informal responses to crime. Newburn concludes by discussing what role criminology can plausibly be anticipated to have in crime control and politics, and what its limits are.
